Description:
"This book is classic Perry -- elegantly and clearly written, based on rich and previously unexplored source material, full of human detail on political actors at the local level, presenting a gripping narrative and a clear analytical thrust. Perry's account of Anyuan is fresh and original, making a convincing case for the area's enduring contribution to the revolution." - Joseph W. Esherick, UC San Diego, author of "Ancestral Leaves"
Review Quotes: "This is Elizabeth Perry at her best: the book achieves its aims and is a pleasure to read."--Timothy Cheek "Journal of Asian Studies" (2/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)
